TOILET ARTICLE.

Application filed March 6, 1917.

1 b all whom itanay concern Be it known that I, ALBERT Bozn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Madisonville, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Toilet Articles, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to certain improvements in toilet articles and has relation more particularly to a novel and improved device especially designed and adapted for use in straightening hair and for imparting a gloss to the hair. It is an object of the invention to provide a novel and improved device of this general character including an elongated head or body substantially concavo-convex in cross section and which is provided along its convex surface or face with a plurality of longitudinally spaced teeth.

The invention consists in the details of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts of my improved toilet article whereby certain important advantages are attained and the device is rendered simpler, less expensive and otherwise more convenient and advantageous for use, all as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.

The novel features of the invention will hereinafter be definitely claimed.

In order that my invention may be the better understood, I will now proceed to describe the same with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a view in elevation of a toilet article constructed in accordance with an embodiment of my invention;

Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken substantially on the line 22 of Fig. 1; and

Fig. 3 is a fragmentary view in bottom plan of the elongated head or body as here in included.

As disclosed in the accompanying drawings, 1 denotes an elongated body or head preferably rectangular in form and substantially concavo-convex in cross section. One end of the body or head 1 is provided with the shank 2 adapted to be suitably engaged with a handle member 3.

The particular cross sectional formation of the body or head 1 is of particular im portance, as the opposite faces of sa1d head or body 1 serve to press or iron the hair and at the same time polishthe hair. The

Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 152,788.

concave face of the head or body 1 is of especlal importance in pressing or ironing the hair.

The convex face or surface of the body or head at substantially its transverse center is provided throughout its entire length with a series of spaced teeth 4. The teeth at have their free ends straight, as indicated at 5, and said teeth A are preferably of a width equal to twice their length and in practice it is preferred that the teeth be one-eighth of an inch long and one-quarter of an inch Wide.

In practice the body or head 1 is adapted to be heated to a predetermined degree and then drawn through the hair as in a combing operation and which action will result in a straightening of the hair and will also impart a gloss thereto.

From the foregoing description, it is thought to be obvious that a toilet article constructed in accordance with my invention is of an extremely simple and comparatively inexpensive nature and is particularly well adapted for use by reason of the convenience and facility with which it may be assembled, and it will also be obvious that my invention is susceptible of some change and modification without material departure from the principles and spirit thereof and for this reason I do not wish to be understood as limiting myself to the precise arrangement and formation of the several parts herein shown in carrying out my invention in practice, except as hereinafter claimed.

I claim:

1. As a new article of manufacture, a toilet device comprising an elongated head substantially concavo-convex in cross section, and a series of spaced teeth disposed longitudinally of the head throughout its entire length and positioned at substantially the transverse center thereof.

2. As a new article of manufacture, a toilet device comprising an elongated head substantially concavo-convex in cross section, and a series of spaced teeth disposed longi tudinally of the head throughout its entire length and positioned at substantially the transverse center thereof, said teeth being of a width substantially equal to twice the length thereof.

3. As a new article of manufacture, a toilet device comprising an elongated head substantially concavo-convex in cross section, a series of spaced teeth disposed longi.

entire length and positioned at substantially the transverse center thereof, said teeth being of a width substantially equal to twice the length thereof, the free ends of said 15 teeth being straight.

In testimony whereof I hereunto aflix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
